Masseter Botox

Non-surgical jaw reduction with Botox is not permanent, typically lasting 3-4 months depending on the dose. Large masseter muscles often need three sessions in the first year, two in the second, and fewer afterwards for maintenance.

CosmeDocs experts recommend maintenance treatments 2-3 times a year, especially to manage facial pain and headaches from teeth grinding. Regular injections every 3-6 months are necessary to maintain jaw-slimming effects.

In such cases, jaw-slimming Botox may be a great solution for such patients. Other patients who are most suitable for Botox in masseter are those who:

• Desire a more balanced and harmonised facial profile
• Want to reduce jaw pain and tension
• Need to address their involuntary teeth-grinding habit (severe bruxism)
• Want to have a symmetrical jawline
• Struggling with TMJ symptoms
• Lastly, suffer from frequent spells of migraine and tension headaches

Botox treatments are generally safe when performed by experienced doctors or cosmetic surgeons. We maintain high industry standards to ensure patient satisfaction.

Possible side effects include:

• Slight pain or discomfort
• Minor bruising, redness, and swelling at the injection site
• Muscle weakness, especially during chewing
• Lastly, dizziness or headaches

Minimize discomfort and swelling by gently applying an ice pack to treated areas. Normal activities can be resumed post-treatment. However, the risk of side effects, such as a crooked or lopsided smile, is less than 0.5%, and allergic reactions are rare.

Botox in masseter is not all painful for most patients. The reason behind this is that at CosmeDocs, experts usually use a skin-numbing agent before injecting Botox (botulinum toxin) to avoid any possible discomfort.

Moreover, we use very tiny needles during the procedure to minimise any painful experience.
Many patients report a mere pinch or prick during the Botox injections and feel slight soreness immediately after the procedure. Nevertheless, that sensation usually goes away on its own with or without icing the treated areas.

Masseter Botox naturally wears off within 4-6 months. If you’re not satisfied with the results, your jawline will gradually return to its previous shape. Although there is no instant reversal, our experienced staff at CosmeDocs London can confidently guide you in the right direction.

Our experts use a safe and effective approach, but it’s important to remember that it is temporary. However, we strongly advise waiting and assessing your feelings before considering additional treatments.

Another reason to get jaw Botox from an experienced aesthetic practitioner or a cosmetic surgeon is the provision of aftercare guidelines to the patients. Experts at CosmeDocs advise you to follow the aftercare instructions for better results:

• Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 3 days after the treatment
• Do not indulge in any strenuous exercising or hot yoga following your procedure
• Avoid rubbing or intense facial massages after the Masseter Botox London
• Do not lie down immediately after your Botox injection to prevent the product from migrating to nearby areas.
• Try to remain upright for at least 4-6 hours after the medical treatment.
• Avoid indulging in any facial after Botox.
• Lastly, stay away from sunbeds after Botox treatment and use an SPF 30 or higher.

Masseter muscle Botox involves slimming the shape of the outer jawline using Botox, a muscle-relaxing injection. Relaxing the jaw muscles causes part of them to shrink.

We creatively weaken certain parts of the jaw muscle sculpting it chemically to enhance your face shape desirably.

In addition to achieving aesthetic results, patients can expect significant relief from jaw pain and shoulder aches from masseter Botox.

Jaw Botox (botulinum toxin) and Jawline Fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments to enhance your facial profile. The procedures are carried out by an experienced doctor at CosmeDocs after a thorough facial assessment of the patient.

Jaw Botox injection is meant to relax the overactive muscles involved in chewing (masseter hypertrophy). It helps to shrink the size of the jaw muscle, also known as masseter muscle hypertrophy, in a few weeks without any surgery.

On the other hand, Jaw Fillers help restore the volume along the jawline where contour and definition have been lost due to age. Many young patients, too, prefer jawline fillers to soften a square appearance and get a non-invasive chiselled facelift in minutes.

Usually, men and women can benefit from both aesthetic treatments simultaneously if they desire to improve their facial balance instantly. However, a detailed consultation is crucial before signing up for Botox treatment and nonsurgical jaw enhancement.

In a word, no. The non-surgical jaw reduction treatment partially relaxes your masseter muscles, causing them to be less active. As a result, your bulky chewing muscle shrinks (masseter muscle hypertrophy) in just a few weeks. However, after chewing, you may experience slight fatigue around the muscle area, but this is merely a momentary event that will subside, usually within a week.

To conclude, a masseter Botox injection will not affect your speech or eating activity in any way. On the other hand, your unbearable jaw pain is significantly relieved.
